SAFETY GUIDELINES

• READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Electric Shock Or Injury To Persons, Do Not Use

Replacement Parts That Have Not Been Recommended By The Manufacturer.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

• DO NOT TOUCH the device housing during operation. Unplug the power and allow

approximately 15 minutes for the device to cool down before servicing.

• DO NOT shake the device, and avoid brute force when installing and/or operating.

• DO NOT operate device if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any

and with ease. NEVER force a power cord connector into the device. If the power cord

or any of its connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar

power rating.

• DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.

• All fan and air inlets must remain clean and free of dust and debris.

• Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.

• When installing the device in a suspended environment, always use appropriately

rated hardware, and always secure the device with an appropriately rated safety cable.

• Always disconnect device from main power source before performing any type of

service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, and

NEVER pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function and an extended life. The frequency of

cleaning depends on the environment in which the device operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty

environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the device. Clean the external surface peri-

odically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user

serviceable parts inside this device, please refer all other service issues to an authorized MAGMATIC

service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local

MAGMATIC dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure

the circuit contacts are in good condition in order to prevent overheating.

• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during

normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.

• Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspen-

sion, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids to enter into the fixture.

Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a

person(s).

• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

OVERVIEW

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING

Keep fixture a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from flammable materials and/or

pyrotechnics.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Device MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction

codes and regulations.

Before rigging/mounting a single device or multiple interconnected devices for custom matrix designs

to any metal truss/structure or placing the device(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer

MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely

hold the combined weight of the device(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.

Maximum ambient operating temperature is 104°F (40°C).

Do not operate this device when ambient temperature exceeds this limit.

Device(s) should be installed outside walking paths, seating areas, and areas where unauthorized

personnel might reach the device by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the device(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing.

Allow approximately 15 minutes for the device to cool down before servicing.

Overhead installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an

appropriately rated safety cable (not included) that meets all local, national, and country codes

and regulations.

The power output socket is only for connection between the same products and cannot be used for

other purposes. A maximum of 10 units can be connected simultaneously.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SETUP

1. Loosen knurled thumbscrews.

2. Open the yoke-stand brackets in opposite directions. Adjust them so that they are open to the

maximum angle to stabilize the fan during operation.

Note: During operation, the fan produces a slight force that pushes against the fixture. If the brackets

are not opened far enough, the fixture could topple, causing possible damage to the fixture, or possible

injury.

3. Aim the Magmafan1 fixture within the brackets in the desired direction.

4. Manually tighten both thumbscrews sufficiently (finger-tight) to secure the yoke-stand brackets.

Do not over tighten thumb-screws. Do not use a wrench or other similar tool to tighten. Doing so could

damage the threading of either the holes in the fixture, or the thumb screws, or possibly shear the thumb

screw bolt-shaft.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

REMOTE CONTROL

This unit can be operated using the MagRemote VIDI remote control, which is a 4-pin, wired remote

that can be used to control the volume, intensity, duration, and interval. Please note that the MagRe-

mote VIDI is a universal remote, and some remote functions may not be applicable to all units.

To operate the device using this remote, simply connect the remote’s 4-pin male connector to the

matching 4-pin female port on the back of the unit, which is labeled “Remote In.” The unit will auto-

matically recognize whether or not the remote has been connection. Available functions are listed

below:

Manual Button - Unit outputs when button is pressed, and stops when button is released. LED illumi-

nates when unit is outputting. Settings are set on the device’s display screen.

Continuous Button - Unit outputs when button is pressed the first time, and continues outputting

until the button is pressed again. Settings are set on the device’s display screen. LED illuminates when

unit is outputting.

Timer On/Off Button - Activates or deactivates the timer function. LED illuminates when function is

activated.

Volume Knob - N/A.

Intensity Knob - Adjust the speed of the fan.

Duration Knob - Adjust the length of time that the unit will produce wind after reaching the current

interval time.

Interval Knob - Adjust the length of time before the unit begins to output wind.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the

entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for

lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This proto-

col is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.

With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled con-

troller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a

GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically

have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX

Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.
